It seems ridiculously absurd that 20-year Councilman Ed Icove and Ward 1 Councilwoman Ruth Gray, currently in her 7th year, would attempt to portray their concerns as genuine regarding the 2012 Budget. They consistently voted in favor of everything that has put the City of South Euclid in the dire financial situation it is in today.

Video below:  February 22, 2012 - Budget Hearings; South Euclid Law Director Michael Lograsso reveals:

• Outside council was brought in to negotiate all city union contracts.
• Jon Bauman handled the Cedar Center negotiations with Gordon Food Service, Bob Evans, Coral Company and DeVille Development.
• The cost of outside council paid from the law department budget appears to be in the range of $150,000 - $160,000.  The total amount allocated for the Legal Administration in 2012 is $333,432.
